Attendance & Policies:
1. Students are expected to attend ALL of their scheduled classes, arriving and departing on
   time, as it is an integral part of the learning process for this course. NO MAKEUP TESTS
   WILL BE GIVEN. If a student misses two (2) classes they will be DROPPED
   IMMEDIATELY for non-attendance. Although college policy provides for a certain number
   of class absences, covering all types of absences such as those due to documented illness
   or other emergency, these absences are not accommodated in addition to those allowable
   under the attendance policy. (See College Catalog and Student Handbook.)
2. HOMEWORK & TAKEHOMES are due as listed. After that date, work WILL NOT BE
   ACCEPTED. Non-attendance will NOT be an excuse. You may email, fax, or leave in my
   box your work PRIOR to the next assigned class date.
3. If you need to talk to me about anything relating to the course, see me before or after
   class, or by appointment at other times. Students are encouraged to call me at home or e-
   mail me regarding assignments BEFORE the assignment is due, not on the due date.
4. Remember—I CAN'T HELP YOU IF YOU DON'T ASK!
5. TAKEHOME #7 IS DUE IN MY BOX NO LATER THAN 5 PM DEC 06!

                       Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Academic Integrity
Students are responsible for adherence to all college policies and procedures, including those related
to academic freedom, cheating, classroom conduct, computer/network/e-mail use and other items
included in the NWFSC Catalog and Student Handbook. Students should be familiar with the rights and
responsibilities detailed in the current NWFSC Catalog and Student Handbook. Plagiarism, cheating, or
any other form of academic dishonesty is a serious breach of student responsibilities and may trigger
consequences which range from a failing grade to formal disciplinary action.

In the event of unusual or extraordinary circumstances, the schedule, requirements, and procedures in this course
     are subject to change. In such cases, students will be provided with written notice sufficient to plan for and
 accommodate the changes. If changes to graded activities are required, students will not be penalized as a result
         of the adjustments, but will be responsible for meeting revised deadlines and course requirements.
